Room 101.

A couple of my mates got jobs at the pit when we left school, both had jobs on the surface so not actually at the face. According to them every day was practically a day off with NCB standing for something completely different 😙
 
About 1972/3 I was on dole for a spell, I wasn't that bothered at the time as I was going through a bad period so not able to hold a job down, then the job centre told me to go to a company called Stephensons Soaps (for the wool industry) anyway I went got the job Clocked on and walked out on my first day, went back in at 4pm and clocked off, I did this for a week or so and no one said a word so I got three of my mates in on it and we would come in nicely dressed with clipboards and just wander around asking people what they were doing, even management were asked questions, not a clue who we were. We'd still go out for most of the day you can only mess about like that for so long before it gets boring.

One of the lads took a shine to a girl there and got moved to her department, married her and has four kids, I still see him now and then.

Put irrelavant threads into room 101 :D :D

Best to buy em when they're reduced and going out of date, they are cheaper and toast up better too. Same with toasted bread and scones, much better when stale.
In fact toasted fresh bread should go in room 101😁
I bought a loaf a week on saturday, just toasting the last slices now, I keep bread in the fridge.
